🌍 World Su***de Prevention Day – You Are Not Alone 🌍
Today, we honor those we’ve lost, stand beside those who are struggling, and speak up for hope. Su***de does not discriminate—but certain groups carry heavier burdens, and it’s time to break the silence.
💔 Who’s at Greater Risk?
Teens & Young Adults: Facing social pressures, academic stress, and a digital world that never sleeps.
Men in Midlife: Often taught to “be strong” and hide pain, many struggle in silence.
African American & People of Color Communities: Barriers to mental health care, cultural stigmas, and systemic stressors create unique challenges.
LGBTQ+ Youth: Higher rates of bullying, family rejection, and discrimination lead to alarming su***de risks.
Older Adults: Isolation and chronic health concerns can quietly take a toll.
👐 How You Can Help:
Start the Conversation: A simple “I’m here for you” matters.
Listen, Don’t Judge: They need your ears more than your answers.
Share Resources: Help them find professional care or crisis lines.
Stay Connected: Check in often—consistency can save lives.
